raceland coilovers ~$250
H&R race spings ~ $250
Vmaxx (flyinmiata) ~ 500
raceland coilovers. supposedly better than the bilstien/H&R race spring combo on a first gen, according to both a member here and a guy i know over on mazdaspeed that owns both a modded atom , a MSM w/ ohlins and a firstgen with these
problem. these Chinese knock offs may be better than stock on those, but what about my msm's mazdaspeed springs and bilstien shocks. and on the plus side the ability to corner weigh my car (if i can find a shop that does it) is tempting, it has springrates of Front 425 and Rear 350 about the same of my last miata, and i loved it
Vmaxx coils - Basically flyin miata, the say all of miata knowledge and performance, was approached with a set of chinese coilovers then changed the spring rates and bumpstop design to their liking.
downfall they are softer than the racelands at 391 lb/in in the front and 258 lb/in in the rear and nearly 2.5 times the price
and the H&R race springs, liked by some and some others called it harsh built they are made for the Mazdaspeed specifically and h&r is a well known and reputable company
here's a pic of the H&R and about the same setting id use on the two coilovers
